The sun wakes up with the warmest smile
And flowers bloom in a fragrant pile
The zenith high and the sea below
Witness how you age and grow

A tingle underneath your sheet
Makes your slumber slip underneath your feet
As you look up to the numbers far
It’s your birthday! Says the calendar

While your heart beats fast for what’s in store
Should your guests come knocking at your door?
Or your friends and pals and sweetheart too
Would they be there to celebrate with you?

Remember that through all the pain
And the wisdom through those years you’ve gained
There’s a single one you didn’t find
In your parties or of such a kind

Yet He was there to share with you
The tears and wrath and gaiety too
Protect you from all sorts of harm
And embraces you to keep you warm

So on your birthday please don’t forget
To thank God for your every breath
For His love and light and countless bliss
Who deserves the biggest hug and kiss

Today as you add up another year
To the digits of your age my dear
Remember Him and all those who
Make your life and dreams do come true

But of course don’t ever odd me out
From your list of memorable laugh and shout
I’m your friend who wishes the best there are
For your birthday’s written in the stars.
